Hazelnut Chocolate Butter recipe

Catharine’s final back-to-school contribution is this creamy, dreamy, hand-crafted hazelnut chocolate butter recipe that gets an “A” in my cookbook.

Hazelnut Chocolate Butter (aka homemade Nutella)

2-cups raw, organic hazelnuts

2-teaspoons nut oil (hazelnut, walnut, almond, coconut), or avocado oil

1-tablespoon creamy, raw honey

Few drops of vanilla extract, or pinch of fresh vanilla beans

1-teaspoon orange or tangerine zest (optional)

2-tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Pink salt, to taste

Add ingredients to blender or food processor, and blend to the desired consistency.

Chill in an airtight Mason jar until ready to enjoy.
